I ordered two different sets of muffler inserts for the collectors, the backflows as well as maximum flow. They are easily swapped out, depending on my mood and needs. Running them open is likely not a good idea to remain friendly with the neighbors. It was hard enough smoothing them over after some window rattling music sessions Matt ♪ ♫ ♪ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktate Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I was at the Harley plant in KC one time and they had a portable dyno. This guy had his bike on it with straight pipes the operator showed him how if he put the baffles back in the exhaust he would actually have more horsepower. So guess what the owner did ?? He put the baffles back in because he had proof there was less horse power with out the baffles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USNRET Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Oh boy, I love header gasket leaks. Best re-tighten bolts after each heat/cool cycle for a while as the gasket shrinks. I had those in the black version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
